In Hollywood, it's hard to become a top director.

Counting on his fingers, before Peng Yichen, there were only Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, the Coen brothers, Tim Burton......

In the whole of Hollywood, there are no more than ten directors who have this power.

Of course, not counting the directors who invest in making independent films themselves.

In a movie like that, the final editing rights don't make much use.

Of course, Peng Yichen's situation is very special.

Before he came to Hollywood, he had already achieved great success in China.

Moreover, all the films he directs are basically both investors, directors, and starring actors.

So in fact, each of his films can be regarded as "independent films" no matter how much it costs, so he has always enjoyed the rights of a big director.

And after arriving in Hollywood, he is often the main investor of the movie, so he has always been able to have the right to cut the movie.

Of course, at that time, Peng Yichen's title of top director had not yet been recognized by the media and the public in the Star Flag Country

But after the release of "Country Teacher", no one can question Peng Yichen's identity as a top director.

Unanimously praised by professional film critics, with a score of 9.2 on IMDB, it ranks in the top 10 of the film history scoring list, and the lowest global box office is 2.71 billion US dollars, which is recognized as a great science fiction classic movie......

It can be said that except for Peng Yichen's nationality and age, for some fans of the Star Flag Country who are racist and age-biased, they are still unwilling to admit his success, the entire Star Flag Country has been conquered by this young Chinese director.

In the hearts of the media and the public in today's Star Flag Country, Peng Yichen is only a few Oscars and other authoritative awards that can prove his strength from the real world's top directors.

As for Chen Jing Film Company, if it wants to become a top film company, it is still a little bit of meaning.

Although the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy makes money, it has all been filmed.

Although "The Country Teacher" has become the No. 1 box office in film history, it has no potential to shoot a sequel.

But for a film company, a series of movies that can make long-term and stable profits is the gold mine that ensures the company's long-term prosperity.

In Hollywood, there are often independent film companies, which can still make money by relying on a series of movies that have been made for decades.

It wasn't until one day it was completely disgusted by fans that it was completely over.

Among the seven major Hollywood studios.

Warner made a lot of money with the Harry Potter series and The Hobbit series;

Sony Columbia has the Men in Black and Spider-Man series;

Foucus has "Star Wars Prequels", "X-Men", "Transformers";

and MGM, the former king of Hollywood, who made money for half a century with "007", and if he hadn't died later, it would not have been able to decay......

And those very successful independent film companies also have their own series of film trump cards.

For example, the new line's "Lord of the Rings" and "Rush Hour" series;

Dimen's "Screaming", "Screaming", and "Very Little Spy";

Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" and "Shocking Demon Thieves" series;

Lionsgate's "Saw" and "The Hunger Games" series......

But Chen Jing Film Company does not have its own film series that can shoot multiple films.

However, "Eavesdropping" is likely to become one of the ace series of films of Chen Jing Film Company in Peng Yichen's arrangement.

But Peng Yichen also plans to make a series of films suitable for distribution in Europe and the United States, but that will have to wait until next year to start.

Although Chen Jing Film Company is up and down, they don't know what this series of movies suitable for Europe and the United States is.

But everyone seems to have almost blind confidence in this movie and their Mr. Peng.

It's just that they are still speculating whether Peng Yichen, who has never made a series of movies, will personally shoot this series of movies.

……

"Actually, I didn't expect this movie to do so well at the box office. ”

Chen Jing Film Company, in the office of the general manager of the office set up in Los Angeles, Peng Yichen, dressed in casual clothes, sat behind the desk at this time, looked at the table, and the shooting plan sent by Summit Entertainment.

Across the desk, Rutgers, who was dressed in a black suit, said with a smile: "I thought that the global box office of "The Country Teacher" could exceed 1 billion, which was already very good. After all, there are still many blockbusters in the summer file, which has a strong effect on the diversion of the box office. ”

Rutgers, one of the top executives at Summit Entertainment, is in charge of producing an action movie with Peng.

He looked at Peng Yichen and praised: "As the first mature 3D movie in film history, only "Country Teacher" diverts the audience of other movies, how can any other movie divert your movie audience." ”

Peng Yichen smiled and nodded, but not because of the horses that Rutgers photographed, but because of the shooting plan in front of him.

"Your plan is perfect, I have no other opinions. So according to this plan, we can start filming this weekend, right?"

"Yes, five days later, when the set and props are ready, we can go to Pittsburgh to shoot. Rutgers's tone became serious, and he said.

He paused, looked at Peng Yichen, and asked with some discussion: "If Director Peng has other things, we can wait." ”

"Well, no need, I do have some things to go back to, and I will be back in three days......" Peng Yichen shook his head and replied: "But the new film press conference the day after tomorrow may not be able to participate." I asked Yu Jing and Zhang Guorong to attend on my behalf, so it's okay. ”

Rutgers hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied: "It's okay, it's okay, now Ms. Yu's popularity in the Star Flag Country is not small, and her attendance at the press conference is enough for the early publicity." ”

Although he actually very much hopes that Peng Yichen can appear at the press conference, with Peng Yichen's current identity and influence, Summit Entertainment can cooperate with him and direct him to shoot a movie, which is already a big profit.

If it weren't for the fact that "The Country Teacher" hadn't been released yet, Peng Yichen especially liked the script of their action movie.

It is impossible for the boss of a film company like Peng Yichen to work for others and help them make films at Summit Entertainment.

Therefore, Rutgers's attitude towards Peng Yichen is now more respectful than the attitude of their company boss.

How dare you force Peng Yichen to participate in various propaganda activities.

Of course, it is not for nothing that Rutgers and Summit Entertainment treat Peng Yichen like this.

Peng Yichen and his "Country Teacher" have now won the two honorary titles of Hollywood's most profitable director and the box office champion of a single film in film history.

It is not reasonable for Rutgers to be careless about Peng Yichen's thoughts and opinions.
